8 The History of Buying Value The Buying Value Measure Selection Tool (BVMST) was developed as part of a suite of nine resources to assist state agencies, private purchasers and other stakeholders in creating aligned measure sets. The tool was first published in Since then, it has been used by a number of states, including: Connecticut Vermont Oregon Washington Rhode Island In 2016, with SHVS support, Bailit Health updated the tool to include current measure sets and add new functionality. 8

9 Once upon a time there were no measures In 1989 large employers were complaining that they had no data to assess the value generated by their health plans. In response, a group of health plans decided to work with a small group of large employers to identify standard measures that could be used to demonstrate value. The result of that effort HEDIS 1.0 was released in 1991 with a limited number of quality measures most of which were focused on prevention. 9

10 And now here we are today! 26 years later, we are awash in measures! The 2013 Buying Value study of measure sets in 25 states and three regional collaboratives found: 1,367 measures in use across 48 measure sets, of which 509 were distinct, nonduplicated measures Only 20% of the 509 measures were used in 2+ measure sets There were 650 NQF-endorsed measures as of

11 Why Focus on Measure Alignment? 1. Providers can t respond to the large number of measures they are being asked to improve. 2. The measure-related requirements on providers for coding claims and medical records is a significant contributor to primary care burnout. 3. Constant change in measure set composition only worsens these problems for providers. 11

12 The Current Landscape of Measure Alignment There are national initiatives designed to create alignment, but they have had limited effect so far. National Initiatives: CMS Core Quality Measure Set IOM s Core Metrics States have not waited for national alignment, and have facilitated their own measure alignment processes. Statewide Initiatives: Rhode Island: SIM Aligned Measure Sets Washington: Common Measure Set on Healthcare Quality and Cost 12

14 How to Create an Aligned Measure Set The RWJF-supported Buying Value Project developed a suite of tools in 2014, titled How to Build A Measure Set, to assist state agencies, private purchasers, and other stakeholders in creating aligned performance measure sets. The full suite of resources is available on the Buying Value website ( 14
